Earthquake researchers believed for decades that rock friction within fault lines follows a simple relationship with temperature. However, a new study published by the Proceedings of the National ...

Scientists have made an insight into superlubricity, where surfaces experience extremely low levels of friction. This could benefit future technologies by reducing energy lost to friction by moving ...

Moving parts in mechanical come into regular contact, leading to wear and tear. Now, researchers have developed a contact control system, driven by artificial intelligence, to greatly reduce contact ...
